My daughter brought home this picture today from preschool. It basically sums up how I’ve felt the past 48 hours. Here’s the problem: Santa has no time to be sick. Santa’s bought roughly a half dozen (rounding up) gifts so far. Starting tomorrow, there will be 12 Days Til Christmas. Every year I tell myself […]

A professional photographer recently came to my work and took head shots of some of us. Rewind nearly 15 years ago and you’ll see a vastly different work photo that a younger me posed for when I was bright and shiny and straight out of college. The difference in those two pictures is striking. My […]

And, yeah, I’m betting the majority of you have already seen the video(s) by now. But if you’ve been living under a rock and […]

Want to know how I’ve mentally and physically prepared for running a big race in May thus far? Come on, you know you do. It will make you feel better about yourself. I over-zealously declared all my New Year’s resolutions to anyone who would listen. I AM DOING ALL THE THINGS! I gave up pop […]

Baseball is a game of long-standing tradition. I firmly believe that no other sport has remained as true to its original form. Prior to the last couple of years, I could confidently state that basketball players were flashier, football players were more obnoxious, and golfers were overly tailored. The good ol’ boys of baseball simply […]

Considering I’ve been writing a lot of unsolicited advice columns that have resonated with so many (and by “so many,” I clearly mean a half a dozen), I thought I’d toss this one into the mix. The way I see it, every young, old, and somewhere-in-the-middle guy who’s interested in snagging a wife has to make a […]

Stuff I love to do: Talk, laugh, and play softball. I’m still able to accomplish two out of three without needing built-in recuperation days. Over four months ago, I agreed to play on a slow pitch softball team with radio personalities “JT” from the Pat&JT Show and Damon Benning from Sharp and Benning in the […]

I am parenting three pretty great people at the moment. My boys are ages 12 and 10, and their little sister is 6 years old. I think I’m in a phase where I might be so physically exhausted most days from running around, however, that I’m not exactly giving them my A game. So I decided to write them […]

First and foremost, Ms. Armstrong, I readily acknowledge that you probably don’t really care what it is I have to share with you. With over 1.5M Twitter followers and an online empire that dates back to 2001, I imagine you have this sharing-of-your-soul thing down pat and aren’t exactly out looking for reassurance from total strangers. […]

Life is full of ups and downs. Have you ever stopped to consider if either extreme is within your control? I’ve lived long enough to know that I’ve lost some of my naiveness from younger years. I believe that life will naturally take its twists and turns and, the majority of the time, we are […]
